I wonder if Joe is in the "know" on what's going on. His credibility is shot for sure, so no one would really take him serious, but still, if he does know something, I think he'd be the first to crack and tell if the money is right.

It Takes $3,000 To Hang with Joe Jackson

Have you wanted to learn how to properly back hand a child?
Or have you said to yourself, “Self, I need to get my babies singing and dancing” but didn’t know how to take it to the next level? Or have you ever simply thought “Man, that Joe Jackson sure is a likable guy. I wonder what it would be like to hang with him.”
If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions what’s wrong with you you’re in luck – you have the opportunity of a lifetime.
Papa Joe is selling what he calls a Platinum VIP package. If you partake in his package deal, you’ll get a chance to watch Michael Jackson’s upcoming concert film, This Is It, with Mr. Jackson himself in Vegas.
Oh and the deal doesn’t just stop there. No, you’ll get an autographed copy of his book, Joseph Jackson: Man In The Mirror, Father of the First Family of Music,” along with dinner with Joe, pictures with Joe, plus a hotel room and your own invite to the opening night party at the Palms Casino Resort Blue Moon Club.
All this for the low price of $3,000. With a sale like that you sure better not be tardy for the party.
To those of you who say, “How can he continue exploiting his son this way?” I say to you Joe’s gotta eat. Might as well let some Jackson stan pick up the tab.http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/spotlight/2009/10/16/it-takes-3000-to-hang-with-joe-jackson/

CREEPY DAD WAS ROOT OF ALL CLAN'S WOE, SINGER SEZ

JACKSON FAMILY patriarch Joe Jackson was so abusive to his children "that he'd probably be in prison" if his wife hadn't protected him, Jermaine Jackson alleges.
The outline for Jermaine's proposed book "Legacy: Surviving the Best and the Worst" suggests Joe Jackson molested his daughters Rebbie and LaToya and may have exposed young Michael to abuse at the hands of "important" businessmen.
"Joseph did some disgusting things to LaToya and Rebbie, especially. If it weren't for Mother's loyalty to him, he'd probably be in prison for what he did to our sisters," Jermaine said in the draft.
Jermaine describes their mother as a loving person, but he wonders why she allowed her husband "to do what he's done."
When LaToya, 49, detailed physical abuse and hinted at sexual abuse in her 1991 tell-all "LaToya - Growing Up in the Jackson Family," other family members denied it.
Jermaine even suggested his father may have set up Michael to be somehow victimized by older men. He tells how his father would have Michael join in at late-night hotel room meetings with "important business people," and wondered whether "something happened" to Michael at those sessions.
He said he sensed something was wrong because Michael would be sick for days after. "What was Joseph doing?" Jermaine wrote.
In weighing the 2003 child-molestation allegations against Michael, Jermaine wondered whether his father's behavior could have made his younger brother go bad.
Joseph Jackson's children were frightened that their father's blood would eventually "contaminate" them.
Rebbie, 55, is the oldest daughter in the Jackson family. As kids growing up in Gary, Ind., before the family hit it big, she and LaToya slept in an alcove off the living room.
Rebbie moved out of the family home as a teen and went to live with a family friend "for reasons I didn't fully understand then," LaToya wrote in her book.
LaToya also described being awakened in the night by Joseph wearing a "monster mask."http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2006/03/05/2006-03-05_creepy_dad_was_root_of_all_c.html
